I have looked at length now for articles referring to Palomares and JEMSE.
I find stories of a
visit to China to meet with potential
funders for the 300MW photovoltaics and geothermal power project
Joint Venture (with China Power, Shanghai Electric and Talesun).
I found a story relating to a
visit to Italy where they met with a geothermal developer that had expressed interest in investing in Argentina
Then a visit to a local
public/private JV to produce solar water heaters
I find articles reporting
on meetings between
LAC/SQM and JEMSE talking about 500m USD investment, 800 to 900 jobs during construction and 400 during normal operation.
In short I find lots of news articles about Palomares and JEMSE and they are all about green energy, foreign investment, and jobs. Plenty of media coverage.
I have yet to find one news report reporting the comments that pj refers to.
I invite pj to submit some relevant links to news stories or other sources. Otherwise I think we can conclude that this thread has been started on unsubtantiated "information" and consign it to the dustbin...
